Nothing More Prestigious Than Barbour
It's 2024, only the plebs in Canary Wharf/Houston/San Francisco are wearing Patagonia and other outdated attire. For the aristocrats in Mayfair/Salt Lake City/Wall Street, Barbour is the only way to go.

Very solid brand but a bit concerned that their jackets might not be warm enough for a cold winter. At least that was my experience with the Ashby model. Any model recommendations that are warmer?
Canada Goose, Montclair or Woolrich would be alternatives.
Barbour jackets can attach an internal vest, but it’s not really warm enough for colder weather (sub 5 degree Celsius). But overall great brand.
Quilted jacket is quite warm in the winter. Can’t speak to the waxed ones though.
Sorry why does the weather outside matter?? The shareholders need us…
This is the exact reason we love it….can be paired well with a gillet underneath. Versatility 🤝
Arcteryx is the only right answer. Barbour is not waterproof at all which you'll come to find is actually quite important in London.
You can't possibly compare Arcteryx with Barbour. One is miles away from the other and Barbour is obv waterproof man
Obviously this all comes down to personal preference, and I understand the heritage associated with Barbour but I honestly think it's an unnecessarily glorified brand. It had it's day and that day has passed. I know we're comparing apples and oranges with Arc v Barb but I honestly think Arcteryx is a better choice if you're not a complete Barbour fanboy.
The quality on Arcteryx is ridiculously good and definitely warmer + better in the rain.
Sadly arcteryx points you out as a chav
I'd have to disagree here - I don't think it's been destroyed by that cohort yet unlike Moncler and Canada Goose. Whilst Arc is much more mainstream than Barbour I don't think it's chavvy.
Barbour is great. I love my quilted jacket for spring/fall. I also have the green wax but tbh .. don't like it too much. Don't really know why but it makes me look kind of old / out of style. Also sometimes looks slightly casual when worn to clients/office.
